Controversial Dox

Figure

A surreal tale about creating a myth, about religious kitsch, and about the desire for greatness.

Who is our protagonist? The world's largest sacral miniature park resident, John Paul II made of plastic and fiberglass in a factory that usually manufactures garden gnomes and dinosaurs. Katarzyna Gondek’s film is a minimalist narrative without a word of dialogue or comment.
